assistant special agents in charge. Is that status the same at the present time, or are there now three assistant special agents in charge?

Mr. Kellerman.

There are three. Mr. Rufus Youngblood is the third one.

Mr. Specter.

Has that slight shift been made since the time of the assassination.

Mr. Kellerman.

That is correct.

Mr. Specter.

Mr. Chief Justice, those are my only additional questions, sir.

The Chairman.

Mr. Craig, would you like to ask any questions, or do you think of any other avenue that we should explore here?

Mr. Craig.

No, sir; thank you, Mr. Chief Justice. As the interrogation has progressed, I have been handing notes to counsel and he has been very kind in asking those questions.

The Chairman.

Mr. Murray, can you think of anything?

Mr. Murray.

No, thank you, Mr. Chief Justice.

Mr. Smith.

Off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Craig.

Mr. Kellerman, is there any special agent in charge of the protection of the person next in line in succession, to your knowledge?

Mr. Kellerman.

I think Mr. Rowley would like to man that. I think they have had a little difficulty to find a man.

Mr. Craig.

There is no such person now?

Mr. Kellerman.

No, they have made numerous attempts with the people, and so far they have got a negative reply.

The Chairman.

Well, Mr. Kellerman, thank you very much, sir, for your attendance and for your testimony.

Mr. Kellerman.

Thank you, sir.
